Heavy Metal Pollution from Listvenitization: In Case of Alakeçi Bayramiç-Çanakkale/West Türkiye)

This study aimed to investigate the risk of element/heavy metal pollution caused by listvenitization. In this context, heavy listvenite-derived soils in region where listvenitized ultrabasic rocks are present as a result hydrothermal alterations vicinity Alakeçi (Bayramiç Çanakkale/Western Türkiye) was investigated with index, geoaccumulation index and integrated parameters. For purpose, Cu, Zn, Pb element concentrations 350 soil samples collected from field were determined, Pollution Index (PI) Geo-accumulation (Igeo) parameters for each Integrated (IPI) sampling point calculated. addition, distribution maps PI, Igeo IPI plotted. When site is considered terms parameter, it has been determined that medium high risk. PI parameters, remarkable level detected field, especially Ni, Co As elements. examined, higher than other areas, areas alteration intense tectonic line areas. Although listvenitizations listvenite zones important target epithermal gold mineralizations, shown listvenitization also at pollution. Therefore, should be well mineralization potentials.
